Was Adrien Broner Wrong To Turn Down The Manny Pacquiao Fight Wanting More Money

Bob Arum and Manny Pacquiao

Top Rank boxing promoter, Bob Arum, revealed during an interview with BoxingScene.com that boxer Adrien Broner turned down the opportunity to fight boxing legend Manny Pacquiao. Broner wanted more money than Arum was offering. Arum stated Broner "priced himself out of the fight" and "I was dealing with Al Haymon on making that fight. Al tried but Broner was asking for crazy money that nobody can afford, so he is out and Manny is looking for another opponent.

Adrien Broner

Since Mayweather has retired and Pacquiao retired and
un-retired (LOL) Manny is the biggest draw in boxing. Other
champions such as Tyson Fury (heavyweight), Deontay Wilder
(heavyweight) and Canelo Alvarez (middleweight) are pulling
in strong viewing numbers and millions of dollars per fight.

The problem is Broner wants to be the new Floyd Mayweather,
but he has not fought long enough to bring in that type of
money from boxing ticket sales and pay-per-view. You have to
get in where you fit in. Once you reach that level, then you
can demand the huge sums your pay-per-view numbers warrant
(oops, I said warrant and Adrien is in jail - I'm just
playing Adrien, don't get mad).

be Broner...

that Broner had priced himself out of the fight, according

not paying him enough to take the fight...
